13-year-old girl gets dying wish: prom

Doctors last month told 13-year-old Deonna Day, who suffers from a rare form of cancer called synovial sarcoma, that she had just weeks to live. As her dying wish, she asked for a prom, KSTP reported.

In just ten days, family, business donors and school officials in the central Minnesota town of Onamia helped pull the event together, complete with a limo ride for the guest of honor and 50 donated dresses for Deonna and her friends, the station reports.

A young girl lost her battle with cancer before her dying wish could come true. Eight-year-old Jane Fiemeyer's last wish was to meet popular boy band Big Time Rush. The band had arranged to meet Jane via Skype but it was too late. Jane passed away quietly at her home in Wadena Thursday afternoon.
